The Arizona Department of Transportation will begin a road widening project along a 5-mile segment of US 93 in Wickenburg on Monday, March 27.
The project will upgrade US 93 between Tegner Street and Wickenburg Ranch Way (mileposts 194 - 199) from a rural two-lane roadway into a modern 4-lane divided highway.
The project will also construct four roundabouts at the intersections of Rincon, Cope, Vulture Mine and Scenic Loop roads. During construction of the Vulture Mine Road roundabout, the intersection and signal will be temporarily relocated.
Construction, which is expected to continue for about two years, also includes:
- Raised center medians.
- Frontage roads.
- Lighting, drainage systems, erosion control and landscaping.
Ongoing temporary lane closures and other traffic restrictions will take place after preliminary site work is completed over the next couple months. The overnight restrictions, which are not scheduled to be in effect until later this spring, will be from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. beginning Sunday evenings through Friday mornings. No traffic restrictions are anticipated to occur during the day, weekends or holidays.
As a reminder, parking along the highway is prohibited.
The work is part of ADOT’s long-term vision to transform the entire 200-mile section of US 93 from Wickenburg to the Hoover Dam bypass into a modern four-lane divided highway. In the past several years, ADOT has invested nearly $500 million into projects that have widened and improved US 93.
